TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve wanted for years to improve my public speaking and presentation, and Diane’s seminar was a transformative - and simple - step. In a morning, using immediate feedback and video, Diane walked me and the other participants through the essentials of making a better impression, with more confidence and less anxiety. She’s distilled years of coaching and expertise into a few hours of concentrated advice (everything from gestures to cadence to messaging), and provided takeaways that recapitulated the key points. I had a major new business presentation the following week; Diane’s workshop completely changed my point of view and capabilities and I went into the boardroom with twenty executives confidently and gave an excellent, well-received presentation. Diane herself is personable, direct, and professional. Highly recommended!”
